All 226 House Democrats voting supported overriding the veto, and they were joined by 51 Republicans; 141 Republicans voted to sustain the veto. It requires the approval of two-thirds of those voting to override a veto.

Among the projects in the measure was $100,000 for the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation; $640,000 for the Norman Regional Health System; $100,000 for the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and $250,000 for a college prep school in Oklahoma City.

Boren said he had secured money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware County, a family health center in Tishomingo and health services at Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton.

``There are definitely some things (in the bill) that are beneficial to my district and to the state,'' Boren said.

But Cole, who helped get the money for the Norman health system and $200,000 for Integris Health, said the bill spent too much on ``dubious projects.''

``Unfortunately, there were also some very worthy projects in the bill, but $10 billion over the president's budget is simply too much,'' Cole said.

According to a list of projects in the bill compiled by Taxpayers for Common Sense, Fallin helped secure $250,000 to fund the KIPP College Prep School in Oklahoma City.

With the help of Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., Fallin also got $100,000 for Rural Enterprises Inc. to sponsor entrepreneurship programs; $100,000 for construction of a biotech research tower for the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and $100,000 for a nursery for St. Anthony Hospital.

But Fallin said the bill ``represents out-of-control spending at its worst.''

She said she wants Congress to approve a bill to meets those needs ``while acting more responsibly with taxpayer dollars.''
